Monday Poetry Stretch - Limericks

I should have thought to work on this form last week while everyone was celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Well, better late than never. I love limericks. They always make me smile and sometimes even laugh out loud. I'm particularly fond of some of the poems in Grimericks, written by Susan Pearson and illustrated by Gris Grimly. Here's one of them.

Augustus, a ghoul who played chess,felt his game was a howling success. If a player could beat him, then Gus would just eat him,"Too bad," he said. "One player less."

What kind of limerick(s) will you write? Leave me a note about your poem(s) and I'll post the results here later this week.
